wow!! clear direction for my marriage and my stand!

[mattosan]

after wandering in the desert for the last 8 months wondering what god has wanted me to do in regards to my marriage god has shown me.. i had based my stand on what i know is gods expressed will in his word but had no sence of "personal" directive from god until this morning..praise you lord!! I was on my way to church this morning and was thinking about my marriage and it seemed god had spoken to my heart last week on the way to church about praying via e-mail for my wife and kids...( i right to her a couple times a week and pray for her and my daughters "4" ) this week in the same strech of road god was showing me that rebuilding my "home" was taking place brick by brick..and that the corner of the building is already set but the rest of the house is still being built...now the downside is that means he has along ways to go to finish..the upside is he is building it out of brick (wont fall down) and i thought for a minute this was wishfull thinking until on my way home I was getting out of my truck and opened my bible to nehmiah "rebuilding the wall" which was a brick wall!! now maybe this was a coincedence but i dont think so ,,I believe god is trying to tell me to "stand and wait" for the rebuilding of the walls of my home, my marriage!! being in the building business I know how long it takes to build this type of construction..it is painstakingly slooow.

but when it is finished it is nearly stormproof and "fireproof" ...so while i am waiting and complaining about how long this is taking feel free to remind me of todays "word" i believe i have recieved from the hand of the living god... and please help me to stand as I fall down alot from growing weary and the heartache hurts bad..but thank you god for my clear directive to wait upon him yipee!! i get to wait i hate waitng but it sounds like it will be well worth it and i want to follow gods best for my life and i love my wife and kids so i will wait and try to count it all joy >>>>>lord thank you for showing me the right path to take as i wanted to give up and you have renewed my resolve to stand... i am sorry that i have very little patience in waiting but i thank you for your patience with me.. i am sorry i took for granted what i had when things were good and i wont let that happen again..thank you for rebuilding my life after all i have done to destroy it you are so faithful and loveing to rebuild it when i dont deserve it.. thank you lord and please send extra crews to speed up the job.. and show me where i can help or tell me to just get out of your way if you want to but i will do anything you want just please continue to rebuild the walls and i cant wait ( but i will ) for the the house warming party to begin!!!

Thank you Lord. It gives us faith!

This brought a tear to my eye...its so great when we get signs like this from God isn't it? It's so exciting. I am so happy for you...and pray that you will continue to receive God's blessing and peace throughout the "house building" journey. God bless...

I totally understand how God is speaking to you. Bricks are going to stand out to you from now on. Everytime you see a brick you can think about it being placed on top of the other ones that are carefully placed.

Matt, coincidence? NO...God? YES!!!!!!!! What a powerful reminder that God is working in your life. I agree with PrayzOn as bricks will have a whole new meaning for you now. Things like this make a lasting impression and that is God leaving his footprint behind.

Lord thank you for showing yourself to Matt and to us. Sometimes we are so preoccupied we don't see it and other times it jumps out at us like a deer in the headlights. And sometimes that is what we need. Lord thank you for allowing us to stand for our marriages and for giving us strenght and faith when we feel all is lost.

We thank you for our blessings,

Amen

Amen, when one of our brothers gets a word from our Living God, we all get the word! Thank you Jesus, thank you Mattosan for sharing this, patience.....if we just allow God to work, what a blessing our lives will be. Amazing.....amazing.
